Multan Sultans vs Peshawar Zalmi
Multan Sultans (Match Odds- 1.80)
Preview
Multan is presently one point behind table toppers Peshawar Zalmi (13 pts). Multan Sultans have won their previous two matches, dropping to second place in the six-team PSL 2024 table. They scored 228 runs in their last match but were unable to defend the total. In their second-to-last match, they finished at 200/5 while pursuing 205.
Usman has risen to third on the PSL’s list of highest run-scorers after only four games. He has 316 runs in just four games, while Babar leads with 447 runs from eight innings and Rassie van der Dussen follows with 364 from seven outings. His 158 average and 184 strike rate are unequalled by anyone who has scored over 100 runs this season. He is also the second batter in PSL history to score three hundreds, trailing only Kamran Akmal.
Mohammad Ali is the second-highest wicket-taker in the top five, with 16 wickets in nine innings. Although Usama is the tournament’s leading bowler with 18 wickets in nine innings, Ali has been more important for Multan. Ali’s wickets have been prominent batsmen and came at critical times. He bowled an excellent stint against Islamabad and selected Salman and Haider, but at a high cost due to the run-fest.
